[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Curious to hear from parents with kids who went to a K–8 school. I know one of the common concerns is having to apply out later, but I’m wondering how that actually felt in real life. Was it as big a downside as people make it out to be? What did you love about the model, and what would you do differently? Would be super grateful if you name the K-8 but understand people also want to be private :)[/quote]

I have an 8th grader at a co-ed K-8. It's been great. I think the K-8 schools do middle school much better. Academically it's rigorous but they also give the kids a lot of opportunities for leadership. As a K-8 they have a very robust high school placement program and that's been helpful. It's been a stressful year with high school applications but it's been a great learning experience for my 8th grader and I think they will be better prepared for the college application process. 8th grade is also a good time to reevaluate what you want in a school and to involve your teenage in the process. It's stressful to manage the process on top of the heavy 8th grade workload but I think it's been worthwhile.[/quote]
